Ingredients
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter

Peaches:
• 2 lbs ripe peaches about 5 peaches
• 3/4 cups brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 2 tbsp all purpose flour

Topping:
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
1. Cut cold butter into several pieces and place them all over the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
2. Preheat the oven to 350°.

Peach Filling:
1. Wash peaches, pat them dry, and remove the pits.
2. Slice them thinly and add into a mixing bowl. Add brown sugar, flour, nutmeg, and cinnamon and toss to coat
them evenly.
3. Transfer them into a medium cooking pot, cover, and cook over medium-low heat until they start to soften and
give out juices. Make sure to stir them from time to time. This will take about 10 minutes.
4. Take the pot off heat and set it aside until ready to add to the cobbler.

Topping:
1. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl and whisk it together.
2. Pour in milk and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.

Cobbler:
1. Place the baking dish into the oven until butter is melted and then carefully take it out of the oven.
2. Drop spoonfuls of batter all over the bottom of the baking dish but don’t mix with the butter.
3. Spoon peaches all over the top of the batter but don’t mix it either.
4. Sprinkle some brown sugar over the top if you wish and place the baking dish back into the oven. Bake for about
40 minutes.
